"Introducción. Serenoa repens es una planta cuyos frutos se han utilizado para tratar diferentes patologías, como la hiperplasia de próstata y otros problemas urológicos. Recientemente, se ha propuesto para el tratamiento de la alopecia androgenética. El objetivo es revisar la evidencia científica actual disponible sobre el tratamiento de la alopecia androgenética con extracto de S. repens. Material y método. Se realiza una revisión de la literatura científica sobre S. repens para el tratamiento de la alopecia androgenética, teniendo en cuenta el mecanismo de acción, eficacia, y posibles limitaciones de su empleo. Resultados. Existen pocos estudios de calidad sobre S. repens para el tratamiento de la alopecia androgenética y los que hay incluyen pocos pacientes. S. repens tiene diferentes mecanismos de acción, entre ellos es importante la inhibición de los andrógenos en el folículo piloso; aunque no se ha encontrado una estandarización de las dosis para el tratamiento de la alopecia con S. repens. Conclusión. La evidencia científica sugiere que S. repens es eficaz para el tratamiento de la alopecia androgenética, aunque su potencia es menor que finasterida. Se precisan nuevos estudios, bien diseñados, que permitan confirmar la utilidad de este producto."

Preliminary Results

Introduction: Chronic prostatitis displays a variety of symptoms (mainly local pain exhibiting variability in origin and intensity). The purpose of this article is to briefly present the preliminary results of our study examining the role of phytotherapeutic agents in the treatment of chronic prostatitis patients. Materials and methods: The study included in total fifty-six consecutive patients who visited the outpatient department. Subjects were randomized into two groups. Subjects in the first group (28 patients) received prulifloxacin 600 mg for 15 days, while subjects in the second group (28 patients) received prulifloxacin 600 mg for 15 days and Serenoa repens extract for 8 weeks. The response was tested using laboratory and clinical criteria. Results: We found statistically significant differences between the two groups regarding pain regression and no statistically significant regarding bacterial eradication. Moreover however while sexual dysfunction improvement was equally achieved in both groups, improvement of urinary symptoms was more evident in the 2nd group especially after the completion of the antibiotic treatment. Conclusions: Serenoa repens extract for 8 weeks seems to improve prostatitis related pain. Further randomized, placebo-controlled studies are needed to substantiate safer conclusions.
